Kind of hard to date things by the year the Ralphie family car was made. Years ago, people didn't buy a new car every couple of years or so. They held onto the family wheels for a good number of years and weren't stuck in that latest-and-greatest rut that you see so often followed today and in recent times.
Heck, I'm driving a 12-year-old car now and it has served me just fine--particularly in these nasty and unpredictable Ohio winters. I may go for something new this coming spring, but even that is something of a "maybe."
